Membrane Characteristics: ROMICON® cartridges should be selected for filtration of liquids based on the separation range needed. They provide stable productivity, ease of cleaning and reliable operation. KMS ROMICON® cartridges are crossflow-type filters, in which the feed solution is pumped across the cartridge to minimize solids cake buildup on the membrane. Crossflow filters provide efficient filtration at low operating pressure, allowing long process runs while reducing cleaning time, cleaning frequency, and labor costs. Exposure to Chemical Oxidants: While not recommended for use on a daily basis, exposure to chemical oxidants for thorough cleaning and sanitization may prove necessary and useful. Potassium metabisulfite (without catalyst such as cobalt) is the preferred chemical to eliminate residual chlorine or similar oxidizers prior to processing process liquid.

Lubricants: For cartridge installation, use only water or glycerin to lubricate seals. The use of petroleum or vegetable-based oils or solvents may damage the cartridge and will void the warranty
